Sorry it has been awhile since I've written. Alanna's been really entertaining lately, so I thought I'd share some of her new "Alannaisms" with you.
Alanna has one of my old purses that she likes to carry around the house. The other day, she headed toward the door with the purse on her shoulder and said, "bye Mommy and Daddy." I asked her where she was going, and she said "buy meat." I asked her if she was going to the store to buy meat and she said, "yes." I asked her how she was going to get there, and she said, "num " (her word for car). She told me she was going to drive to the store, we were cracking up. Then Justin asked if she was going to get anything else, and she said, "bagels, mouse." "You're going to buy a mouse for the cats?" I asked, and she said, "yes." It was really funny.
Alanna is actually starting to share things with us - amazing! She'll be holding something, and then hand it to you, saying "here you go." It's so cute (and nice).
She loves animals (mother like daughter?!). Anything shaped like a star, is immediately called a starfish. She is also into jellyfish. She sings about them, and likes to look at pictures on the Internet. Lately she is interested in random animals like owls, coyotes, seals, snails, and bugs. Alanna can spend an hour outside, searching for bugs. My Dad thinks she is going to be an entomologist.
We've been going to Little Gym for weeks now, but whenever it is time to do a "roll," Alanna gets into the correct position (hands down, touch the ground, look at your tummy, and roll), but then flops over and rolls around on the floor. Today however, she finally did a real somersault. Go Little A!
Okay, I'll share one more...she loves to lounge. Lounging began in my parents' backyard when Aunt Nancy was visiting. Alanna and Nancy were into lounging on the lawn chairs. Now she likes to lounge in our bed and on the chair in the living room.
